Spreadsheets

Microsoft spreadsheets is something I have worked with before, but never with this much detail. I knew I could organize and keep things a specific way through my previous knowledge, but being able to create quizzes and practice questions through spreadsheet was new to me. I still think that entering the formulas to figure out correct answers can be rather difficult, but with practice I feel like it could easily be figured out and become something that is easy. I created a quiz about the ten largest rivers in the U.S. and it lets me type in a formula for when the student types in the correct answer. I was so amazed at how this worked and how useful this would be in the classroom. It would be helpful in any subject area to give a short quiz or for students to practice on. I like that any teacher or student can create a project with spreadsheet. Students and teachers both would benefit from this because it is very organized and easy to use.
